Reiss' celebrated band of East Sag
NAV, is to give two concerts at the
rink on the 14th and 18th, under the
auspices of the Select Knights, A. o.
u. w. The band has been here be-
fore and gave great pleasure to those
who heard it, and the citizens who at
tend the coming concerts may expect
first class musical entertainment.
The band is beyond doubt the best in
the State, and is entitled to be well
patronized.
